Hi, Mike, Wow! What a story, and I'm glad that everything worked out for you. You certainly are great with words! I did a similar thing with my Book Sense a few years back when the bottom of it went into a watering can. I had the device around my neck in a lanyard and when I went to pick up the full watering can, the bottom of the Book Sense went kerplop! Right into the water. Luckily I had everything backed up on an SD card and after sending it in for repairs, I was able to restore my data from the card!
Good luck with your new phone and if it wants to go for a swim, put a life preserver on it! LOL! Take care.
